Industry and commercial activity makes up 33% of Blackpool’s carbon emissions.
Besides helping improve the environment, adopting net zero strategies may help your business grow, save money, and boost business resilience.
The first step in the journey to net zero is understanding your current position and identifying the actions that need to be taken to move in the right direction.
Blackpool Council can assist businesses on this journey. The Net Zero Academy, run by Adler and Allan, has been established by the council to help local businesses. This includes a free energy audit, workshops, one-on-one advice, and the development of a bespoke decarbonisation plan for your business.
Sign up for the Net Zero Business Academy.
The release of the net zero review for national government in 2023, states that "net zero is a historic economic opportunity" making now an interesting time to embrace sustainable business practice. Local businesses engaging in sustainable business practice will be key if Blackpool is to reach net zero by 2030.
Local businesses can develop sustainable practices by reducing their own emmissions, increasing resource efficiency and by supporting customers to make low carbon choices.
